Grounded 2 Soars with 3 Million Players in First Fortnight – Obsidian Unveils In-Game Expansion Plans

Launched on July 29 for PC and Xbox Series, and available day one on Game Pass, the new game Grounded 2 has experienced significant initial success. Microsoft’s Gaming Marketing VP, Aaron Greenberg, stated the game “hit the ground running.” A tweet from Obsidian Entertainment further supported this, announcing its latest offering amassed 3 million players in just 15 days, demonstrating substantial interest in the series. Such a strong start was anticipated, considering the original Grounded also performed well upon its release. Obsidian Entertainment is not content to rest on its laurels, having already announced numerous seasonal updates. This fall, players can anticipate the debut of AXL the tarantula, complete with spider-themed weapons, armor, arenas, and a dash of fear factor. During winter, Level 3 will expand, introducing mushroom-based equipment and construction options. Come spring 2026, Obsidian plans to introduce water-based mechanics. These updates offer a glimpse of the comprehensive content planned for Grounded 2. As an Early Access title, Obsidian plans a full array of new features for its final version.
